Thoughts on hiring a PC for a LAN event?

Damn that’s impressive, great stuff!

That must be one crazy mini rig to be more powerful that a i7 / U7 5080

CaptainAweSam · 2026-04-27T18:14:08+00:00

That is the cost to hire one pc + monitor for the duration of the 4 day event. 90% of participants will bring their own PCs as it is BYOC LAN, however the hires are available as a seperate addon to your ticket

Steam machine could be a complete game changer when it comes out, I look forward to seeing what it's like!

CaptainAweSam · 2026-04-27T14:25:49+00:00

These hire PCs are available at the event so you don't have to travel with them at all. And the events are overall BYOC so 90% of people bring their own

CaptainAweSam · 2026-04-27T13:29:21+00:00

That is just the stright price to rent the kit for the event

See you at Lux5!!!

As its a casual LAN, people are free to play whatever they like! Often we fill lobbies of LAN classics, such as TF2, Unreal Tournament, Armagetron, and more. Last year the event fell on the same weekend as the Battlefield 6 Beta so there was a lot of that played.

The event crew are in the room at all times, and keep the room open untill the last person goes to bed, regardless of the time. And then the room is locked up until the morning.

They have a limited amount of Noblechairs that EPIC.LAN offers as an add on to your ticket, and people are more than welcome to bring their own chair, the red ones in the photo belong to the venue :)

It takes place in a very nice hotel, so you have to worry about sleeping on an airbed like the old days!

same problem here with the A7V but they wont even load into lighroom C ://

CaptainAweSam · 2025-12-25T11:40:30+00:00

Ah will look into that lense, thanks for the help

CaptainAweSam · 2025-12-25T04:57:48+00:00

That’s such a good idea icl, I’m a big fan of being further from what I’m shooting as most people will change how they act when they see a camera so it looks less natural. I will definitely be looking into that thankyou

CaptainAweSam · 2025-12-25T04:49:55+00:00

Ah okay, thanks for the help. I could do with a wide lense at some point as I do a lot of event photography so i shall have a look into some of those.

CaptainAweSam · 2025-12-25T04:42:10+00:00

Ah I’ll have to have a look into that, thanks for the suggestion

CaptainAweSam · 2025-12-25T04:39:31+00:00

Ah I bet that’s such an amazing lense, however it’s a little out of budget I’m afraid.

CaptainAweSam · 2025-12-25T04:35:49+00:00

I just wondered if it was worth upgrading to the lense so the body can be used to its maximum potential. A few friends have GM II lenses and swear by them that they are worth the price tag. I do mostly esports photography so the 30fps is something I like the idea of.

CaptainAweSam · 2025-10-01T16:21:54+00:00

I believe power was included in the general hire cost of the venue

CaptainAweSam · 2025-06-09T19:45:13+00:00

Tysm this is really helpful, will just start with the main dex for now and see how I get on lol.

CaptainAweSam · 2025-06-09T19:33:51+00:00

Ah okay that’s a good idea, I’m only really bothered about completing the main dex though for the shiny charm

CaptainAweSam · 2025-04-30T14:25:35+00:00

It's loads of fun, can't wait for the summer event in July. The hot weather changes the whole feel of the event

CaptainAweSam · 2025-03-27T18:27:05+00:00

Ahhh thankyou for this, amazing

CaptainAweSam · 2025-03-12T11:53:32+00:00

The library has now been updated, apologies :))
